Not uncommon when you have a 100 psi remote outlet requirement on the standpipe and the water supply can't deliver that. Install the pump on the standpipe system to compensate for the deficiency.

I have not seen this before and was hoping to get some general background on this. Is it still installed today in some buildings, etc. Thank you, Joe _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
